I didn't write this....but having a hard time finding a place to disagree. I personally don't 'look down' on people as this author might, but when emotion (and perhaps some other internal turbulence) overrides logic and even care for the well-being of a democratic republic....then here we are....

A real question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’ THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse: That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../trump-university.../502387002/) That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay." (https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hotel-paid-millions...) That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, "No problem." (https://abcnews.go.com/.../list-trumps-accusers.../story...) That when he made up stories about seeing Muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an issue." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../donald-trumps.../) That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you exclaimed, "He sure knows me." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../president-donald.../4073405002/) That when you heard him relating a story of an elderly guest of his country club, an 80-year old man, who fell off a stage and hit his head, to Trump replied: “‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I couldn’t—you know, he was right in front of me, and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He was bleeding all over the place. And I felt terrible, because it was a beautiful white marble floor, and now it had changed color. Became very red.” You said, "That's cool!" (https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-howard-stern-story) That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw. (https://www.nbcnews.com/.../donald-trump-criticized-after...) That when you heard him brag that he doesn't read books, you said, "Well, who has time?" (https://www.theatlantic.com/.../americas-first.../549794/) That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn't commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, "That makes sense." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../what-trump-has.../1501321001/) That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, "Yes!" (https://www.latimes.com/.../la-na-trump-campaign-protests...) That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man's coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, "What a great guy!" (https://www.independent.co.uk/.../donald-trump-orders...) That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, "Thumbs up!" (https://www.theatlantic.com/.../why-cant-trump.../567320/) That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, "That's the way I want my President to be." (https://www.huffpost.com/.../trump-insult-foreign...) That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they're supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a genius!" (https://www.politico.com/.../138-trump-policy-changes...) That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, "That's smart!" (https://www.usnews.com/.../how-is-donald-trump-profiting...) That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was in the middle of water and you have said, "That makes sense." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../the-very-big-ocean.../) That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, "falling in love" with the dictator of North Korea, and you have said, "That's statesmanship!" (https://www.cnn.com/.../donald-trump-dictators.../index.html) That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids, has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “Well, OK then.” (https://www.nbcnews.com/.../more-5-400-children-split...) That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise. (https://www.americanprogress.org/.../confronting-cost.../) What you don't get, Trump supporters, is that our succumbing to frustration and shaking our heads, thinking of you as stupid, may very well be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also... hear me... charitable. Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering. - Adam-Troy CastroYou cannot spell HATRED without RED HAT.

Why do Trump supporters think Dems are stupid? Because you support the following:
1. Open borders, letting illegals flood our country and then expecting the tax payers to pay for it. Never mind the Americans we have here already struggling. Never mind the drugs, criminals and God knows what else we have let in.
2. Using our government to go after political enemies. Going after parents at school board meetings.
3. Censorship of Americans who don't think or feel they way you do on social media and anywhere else. It's a free country and we all have a right to our opinions.
4. Transgender surgeries for minors all without the parents knowledge. You can't drink a beer or get a tattoo but hey lets let you cut off body parts or add them on.
5. Tampons in boys bathrooms
6. Letting biological males compete in Women's sports. let's just set the female back a few years.
7. a blank check for the endless wars.
These are just a few of the reasons I voted for Donald Trump. I don't care who it was running against the above they would have gotten my vote. Instead of focusing on your hatred for one man perhaps you should take a look at you own party and the absolute stupidity you all embrace. This is why you lost, this is why America is so happy to have Trump back. For me it wasn't that I am a huge Trump fan, for me it's I am not a fan of any of the above.Be who you are and say what you feel..because those that matter don't mind..and those that mind..don't matter.
If Trump knows what is good for him, after professionally fumigating the Whitehouse he better have that place swept for listening devices. If he doesn't do that, he will be making a big mistake.
Ok, Trump being cheered at the Super Bowl was pretty cool, but I do kind of miss the F**k Joe Biden chants.
I think you forgot what side of the plate 3Dee hits from.The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits. -Thomas Jefferson
Don't forget DEI. Already well on the way out. Hopefully the city of St Louis also. DEI has done that city in.The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits. -Thomas Jefferson
I don't care about that, a leftist is a leftist no matter that stuff. Am I shocked, of course not, but do I care, also of course not.
I find it funny with today's Democrat Party that Nelly and Snoop are now designated as Uncle Toms and George Floyd is the man. A party where Daniel Penny is the bad guy and this little freak Luigi is the hero.
The Democrat Party is the single biggest enemy that the American people have to deal with.Ok, Trump being cheered at the Super Bowl was pretty cool, but I do kind of miss the F**k Joe Biden chants.
As long as the social engineering is out of the military, these Democrat cities can all burn to the ground for all I care. It's the only way some people are going to learn.Ok, Trump being cheered at the Super Bowl was pretty cool, but I do kind of miss the F**k Joe Biden chants.
I was comparing that with several of the bullet points Hockey mom madeThe policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits. -Thomas Jefferson
Yes and DEI. I know I am leaving off others but these are the things that stood out for me when I cast my vote. I am betting I am not the only American to feel this way, I am betting millions felt exactly the same way when they voted.
You don't have to be a huge Trump fan to have voted against the Biden Administration. Harris said "There is not a thing she would change". Be who you are and say what you feel..because those that matter don't mind..and those that mind..don't matter.
Now is the time for action, it is time to get this border secure. Of all these crooks that are being sent home from the failed Biden regime, Mayorkas may be the most corrupt and is easily the biggest liar.
I will be glad when this first day is over, and we can move forward and not backward as we have been for 4 long pathetic years. Ok, Trump being cheered at the Super Bowl was pretty cool, but I do kind of miss the F**k Joe Biden chants.
Harris much like Nikki Haley is a county-level talent, so even getting this far you have to admit she is an overachiever. Ok, Trump being cheered at the Super Bowl was pretty cool, but I do kind of miss the F**k Joe Biden chants.
I hear you. Not a Trump fan overall but he is what is needed now. The Kevin Slaten of politics if you understand my comparison.The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits. -Thomas Jefferson
Slaten was a different animal for sure. I thought Trump had been through enough, dealing with these Democrat crooks. I supported Vivek but was more than happy to vote for Trump. I would have voted for any one of the Republicans besides Nikki Haley, I would have sat that one out.
Enough of these ceremonies though, let's move on.Ok, Trump being cheered at the Super Bowl was pretty cool, but I do kind of miss the F**k Joe Biden chants.
2b-6 - The occupant of the executive branch can't do anything about these issues.
It helps to know what the occupant of the executive branch can actually do....and how many of his other empty promises are just playing on your emotions.
It was nice to see a peaceful and appropriate transfer of power, the Biden's have way more class than Trump could ever have.
Why did Melania look like she was going to a funeral? No disrespect to the Trans community, but are we sure she just isn't a slightly feminine man in drag?

Wow, just the other day one of the posters put Joe down for making degrading comments about a woman. The next 1460 days are going to be very hard on some of you if you have to resort to attacking the man's wife. She's not the candidate and as for her dress, should she have worn a pant suit like Hillary and Kamala?

Opi - don't go all judgemental on me, you've trashed so many women's looks on here I can't even count. It was just an observation...a pretty accurate one.
Find one where I referred to one as you did. You will find posts where I commented on a want to be a woman/man like the one in Bidens' cabinets. And I've defended some by comparing them to women in the democrat party when they trashed women like Sarah Hucabee Sanders.
Trashing the first lady and saying she's a man is typical hypocrisy of the left who got offended when others did refer to Michelle as Michael or put pictures of her on here with a bulge in her pants.
I guess both sides are ready to sling mud so let's go. I may have one more election in my time on earth, so I'll enjoy this one even though as Joe accused me of before, I was too soft on the left.

Are you serious? You've disparaged various women's looks many times and you know it so don't get all high and mighty because it's the first lady.
She did look like she was going to a funeral, I didn't call her ugly, she just looked a bit manly to me... I threw the Trans part in there just to push some buttons.
Bring it on, I can take what you wanna dish out and I'll still respect you.

Not too soft opi, it's just that you tend to be conservative much of the time but feel the need to buckle when the libs start in on you. I get it, taking them all the time can be tedious.Ok, Trump being cheered at the Super Bowl was pretty cool, but I do kind of miss the F**k Joe Biden chants.
I must admit Melania's hat I am not a huge fan of. I won't join others who have in the past criticized her shoes, but that hat made me think of a Marvel cartoon of some sort. She didn't look too hot at Carter's funeral either, but I'm sure she didn't want to be there with those jackals who ordered her underwear drawer gone through while raiding her home. Democrats are totally fine with that, just not with what Trump might do in response to that. Sick people that they are.

Saying she looked like a man today wasn't calling her homely or even ugly but hey, I know you're feeling the sting and yeah, I'm a little too cocky today from cabin fever. So even though I'm a bit surprised by you and Dee being so angry, I still give you both props for at least being intelligent.
Great job on button pushing. I'm usually the one to win mind games but admittedly, you got me with that one. Personally, I think Melania is the classiest and prettiest first lady since Jackie adorned the pink outfit and pill box hat.CHIEFS THREE-PEAT
